diarrhée musicien. Recorded stuff on site is all played and recorded by Mike. New stuff and old stuff re-recorded by us will come up soon.
So we all started playing stuff when we were little and have all played in different bands(mostly lousy ones)...This came to being when out of no where, John emailed Michael(a past aquaintance) and asked if he happened to know the song Mordecai by BTBAM. It was quite an ironic question becuase Michael, three days prior to the email, had watched the video to Mordecai, loved it, printed off the tabs, and learned it. so, the song mordecai started the band. It was then necessary to bring together others who could also play mordecai. It just so happened that Michael was playing in the school show choir pit band, in which Matt, Jimmy, and Mack were a part.
It was then found out that there was a battle of the bands to be held at Lawrence. Mike thought "hey, how about i unite John and the other three guys into one sweet thing" and it worked pretty well. We all love progressive, interesting, awkward, music. We won the battle of the bands and now we're still playing. Planning to record an EP soon
you're playing at souljam? that's awesome. i might be going. your music is great, i like ExtraOrdinary the best. who is the vocalist on So I Thought? keep up the good work. God bless, nat
Congratulations!! Dude, thats awesome! I knew you guys would've becuz of the technical difficulty of the songs and the other bands, for the most part, were pretty lame. Did u want any of BTBAM's cd's for Sunday?
hey, thanks for the add. i remember one day in music recording & mixing class, the professor played a recording of 'Steely Dan' as a demonstration of good music and good mixing.
i like them both but i actually prefer the nota catch 22 a bit better.
btw desiree said something bout dragon force and slipknot touring together in the U.S. or somthing like that and how theyre only gunna be in 5 cities or somthing idk. ill have to look it up. thats just what i was told.
ya, the first one i put up (nota 22) is really poorly done due to me figuring out the recorder. the second one is a bit better. but i'm still working it out. it's super complicated
